logo Growth Drivers

  • Cultural and demographic shift is expected to fuel the growth of the global market.

There is a significant shift in the cultural and demographic preferences of the people, which is a big reason propelling the growth of the global next generation packaging market. Next-generation packaging design caters to the specific preferences of people in diverse markets to align with the end user’s requirements.

Also, this packaging offers opportunities for brands to connect with consumers and stand out in a competitive market by offering functional, eye-catching, and unique packaging designs that improve the brand identity.

Additionally, these packaging design aligns with health-conscious consumer behaviors like nutritional labeling, portion control, ready-to-consume uses, etc., which is further likely to expedite the growth of the global market. For instance, Analog Devices Inc. in May 2022 announced the launch of a three-axis MEMS accelerometer. It is largely being used in a variety of industrial and healthcare applications.

logo Restraints

  • Cost consideration is likely to hamper the growth of the global market.

Innovative packaging solutions and materials are more expensive than the other traditional options, which is likely to pose a big challenge for businesses with limited budgets. Also, the lack of required infrastructure is another factor that hampers the growth of the next-generation packaging industry.

Advanced packaging technology like QR codes, sensors, and smart packaging need a support infrastructure like mobile apps and digital platforms, and therefore, limited access to advanced technology negatively impacts the growth trajectory of the industries.

logo Opportunities

  • Waste reduction initiatives are likely to offer lucrative growth opportunities in the global market.

Increasing environmental pollution due to plastic and other kinds of waste material is significantly damaging the environment, which in turn drives the need for smart packaging solutions to encourage recycling, minimize waste, and promote a circular economy.

The development of advanced novel materials with better durability, flexibility, and various properties is also anticipated to widen the scope of the next generation packaging industry in the forthcoming years. For instance, Microchip Technology Inc. in May 2022 launched GridTime 3000 GNSS time server. It helps protect power plants and substations in case of bad weather, cyber-attacks, and other critical targeting.

logo Challenges

  • Regulatory landscape is a big challenge in the global market.

Several reasons have their own regulation and a standard associated with packaging materials. These regulations influence the packaging industry in innovation, choices, labeling, recycling, and other subject matters, which is a big challenge in the global next generation packaging market. Consumer acceptance is another obstacle to the growth of the market. Some consumers are still unfamiliar with or resistant to certain packaging innovations, which slow down the growth of the industry.

logoSegmentation Analysis

The global next generation packaging market can be segmented into packaging type, application, and region.

By type, the market can be segmented into modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, and active packaging. The intelligent packaging segment can further be bifurcated into sensors, tags, and indicators. The active packaging segment can further be bifurcated into gas emitters, gas scavengers, antimicrobials, and others. The active packaging segment accounts for the largest share of the global next generation packaging market. It swiped around 36% of the total market share in 2022 and is likely to remain dominant throughout the anticipated period.

Active packaging refers to the next generation packaging, which scales beyond the traditional passive packaging with its unique advantages like enhanced safety, extended shelf life, and other additional functionality. It includes modern technologies like antimicrobial agents, moisture control agents, oxygen scavengers, and several others that scale up the potential of active packaging in the next-generation packaging industry. Consumers are increasingly looking for high-quality fresh products.

However, the active packaging solutions help manufacturers align with the flexible demands by maintaining the quality and product freshness during the storage and transportation process, which in turn will boost the growth of the segment. However, the intelligent packaging segment is also likely to grow steadily in the forthcoming years due to its constantly growing demand in the global marketplace.

By application, the market can be segmented into logistics & supply chain, personal care, health care, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, and others. The food and beverage sector is likely to witness a huge growth rate in the forthcoming years due to the high requirement for innovative packaging solutions in the sector.

Extended shelf life and safety & quality assurance are some of the major factors driving the growth of the segment in the forthcoming years. Next-generation packaging plays a vital role in ensuring food safety and quality. It offers features like barrier films and antimicrobial properties that prevent the contamination of the food products and thereby ensure the integrity of the items.

Also, innovative packaging enhances the overall consumer experience by offering convenient portion control, freshness indicators, interactive labels, and other useful features. The healthcare and pharmaceutical application sector is also likely to grow parallelly in the market due to the exponential growth of the sectors in the global marketplace.
